The families of two nephews of my wife visited us in northern cyprus last summer. They stayed for a short period. The most part of the time ofcourse was spent in sightseeing. Although northern cyprus is a simall country, yet still there are quite too many places to go. The predominant characteristic of this part of the island is its natural beauty. I prefer to call it the nature at its best. The official tourism brochures however mention the northern cyprus as a corner of the earth touched by heaven. Indeed it is.
So one day we went out for a day long travel from Lefkoşa to the Güzelyurt area, which is at a distance of about 40km. It was a nice drive and we stopped at a number of places to roam around.
However, the most prominent aspect of natural beauty of that areas are the gardens drooping with oranges. I call that scene as a very unique combination of yellow and green colours. That's a chance to view the splash of colours on a very very huge canvas. Natural canvas, painted by the nature with natural colours. That is the beauty of the nature.
Well, we decided to stop at a point, where there were orange gardens on both sides of the road. Everybody jumped off the car to enjoy the scene. It was a unique chance for the guests. We all enjoyed, roaming around the trees, with oranges almost touching our heads. The deeper we went inside the garden, the more natural the scene became.
Orange is a beautiful, tasty fruit. I have a sad story with it.. Years back I visited Mersin beautiful city at south of Turkey. Sea, road and orange trees.. That year they had flood and all trees were on the floor with oranges on them.. That was an awful view, still in front of my eyes.
